Marianne E. (bedhead) reviewed on 9/25/2011 + 53 more book reviews

This was my first novel by TJP and I had a hard time putting it down. I willingly suspended my disbelief and went along for the ride with these characters, whom I found very creatively and succinctly developed. Most of the main players are nice people with flaws, just like we meet every day, only in more flamboyant circumstances. If you've never read a Parker novel, I recommend this one -- and if Parker fans are disappointed in this one (as some reviews indicate), I can hardly wait to read more! Granted, this isn't "War and Peace," but it's smart and well-written, and even if there is a little excess testosterone in the story, the novel is a superb diversion on a rainy weekend.
